I would recommend the Maximo Nivel in Antigua, Guatemala ESL course to anyone. When I signed up for the course, my primary goal was to be able to teach English in an orphanage in Sumpango, Guatemala. But what I really received is a lifetime of memories and experience that I will be able to use anywhere in the world. Karen, my TEFL teacher is truly an amazing educator. Not only does she have years of experience in teaching English, but also presents the material in a concise, understandable, comprehensive manner. She has the passion, commitment, patience and heart that makes her an amazing TEFL teacher.

Attending Maximo Nivel in Manuel Antonio Costa Rica was the best experience I’ve ever had. The school was located in a beautiful area and it very quickly felt like home. The teachers (Audra and Danny) were made for what they do, they truly made every day fun and exciting. I graduated 2 weeks ago and still receive emails from Audra regarding teaching opportunities which is fantastic!

I would recommend Maximo to anyone with a desire to teach English abroad.

I had an absolutely amazing experience with the TEFL program in Antigua, Guatemala! I would highly recommend this program to anyone. Our instructor, Karen, was fabulous. I received a tremendous amount of guidance, helpful feedback, and support throughout the program. I was a hybrid student and found the program to be very supportive and accommodating both during my time learning remotely and on-site. The practical teaching experience and supportive feedback Maximo provided was invaluable. In addition to an experienced and dedicated instructor, the entire staff at Maximo Antigua was welcoming and supportive throughout my time there. The entire team is clearly committed to our learning and they really go the extra mile to make the experience a great one for each student! I cannot say enough great things about Maximo Antigua – thank you!

This course was really outstanding. I did not expect it to be so much different to my regular experience of boring presentation type courses. This one was truly exceptional. It was far from being boring! In fact I did not even notice when I learned all these things. The flow of the course was excellent, staff professional and fun at the same time (thank you Audra and Dani), and content relevant. I really enjoyed the opportunity of working with locals and getting to teach them English for 3x20mins and 5x60mins throughout the course of 4 weeks. I feel much confident and qualified now to teach, something that I have doubted I could ever feel. Thank you team Maximo Nivel! I definitely recommend this course!

All I can say is that getting my TEFL certification has been one of the best experiences of my life. I am so happy that I dediced to do it and I am glad that I chose Máximo Nivel.

Karen, my TEFL trainer, is the best. She is cool, funny, creative, caring, smart and an inspiration. She is perfect of this job and I can not think of anyone better for the job. The course is intense, there is a lot to read and work to get done, but Karen and the rest of the staff at Máximo are always willing to help out.

Thank you Karen and everyone else at Máximo Nivel for all the support. As I head out to work each morning I feel that I am well prepared and I owe that all to you.

The TEFL course in Antigua Guatemala was fabulous! I not only received amazing knowledge to put towards teaching, but I also had an experience that I will never forget. The instructors really took the time to make sure students understood the content. I felt supported the whole way through by my peers, teachers and the Maximo Nivel staff. They make sure that you are taken care and have created such a welcoming environment that is conducive to learning. I feel prepared for my next steps in the field of teaching.

5 stars for Maximo Nivel Guatemala. The Tefl program is just fantastic!

Karen my teacher and Sarah her assistant did such a good job teaching, preparing and hepling each and everyone of us. Maximo Nivel is lucky to have that quality and level of teachers on board, not only for the knowledge they posses, but for their passion and commitment to teaching and helping others. They made Tefl fun!

I just had the best time in Antigua doing Tefl, meet so many cool people, learned so much and what I loved the most was that I was able to put it into practice imediately and receive feedback. That for me was priceless!!

I was impressed with the service provided by Maximo Nivel, they were so professional, organized and most important helpfull. Truly a wonderful team running the operation down there. The school is beautiful, they have have garden with chairs where you can go and eat, read or study. They have a little shop to buy snacks, a tour operator to help you with any travel arrangements and free coffee and tea all day!

Loved the whole experience, but most important of all I feel prepared to go teach!

Wow! What can I say? This experience exceeded my expectations.

I think the amount of preparation you receive before your practical teaching goes a long way towards creating a good teacher. Having a class of one’s own to teach for a week was a very fulfilling experience as well.

I can’t say enough about the helpful, supportive atmosphere. From office staff to trainers, everyone does their utmost to ensure you have a great experience.

It took me years to take this step and I wish I had done this sooner! Antigua, Guatemala is a fabulous place to take the course as well. It’s a nice sized town with friendly people and I’m already wanting to come back. Don’t hesitate. This course and location were amazing!
